Thanks.
I've applied that with the log adjusted to conform:
doc: clarify what is meant by md5sum's binary/text flag
* src/md5sum.c (usage): Clarify that we are talking about input mode.
* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Ditto.
Changes:
- leading "doc: " so this doesn't look like an md5sum bug fix
- neither capitalized first word nor period at end of summary line
- left-justified "*" for each file-starting ChangeLog entry.
If you use vc-dwim and emacs' 'C-x 4 a', it'll insert the
"* FILE_NAME (FUNCTION_NAME):" for each file in your ChangeLog.
See vc-dwim's --help output for how to convert each new ChangeLog
entry into a commit log. Plus, it provides a handy cross-check,
to ensure that files listed in ChangeLog are also in the commit,
and don't have pending-but-not-written-to-disk changes.
- "(parenthesized function or section name)" after each file name.
